There will always be some stress associated with being a mom, but this stress doesn’t have to overwhelm us! Here are 12 ways to manage the stress.

Up to 30 percent of children suffer from constipation. Here are some reasons why and some tips on how to help our kids stay regular.

When I first began writing this blog, I wouldn’t have believed you if you would have told me that I’d someday be writing about the topic of constipation.

Bakeware organizers and pot racks can store chunky puzzles and peg puzzles! Here’s how to use these simple tools to organize your kids’ puzzles.

March 18, 2019 By Shannon This post may contain affiliate links and this site uses cookies. Click here for details.

You may find a mess if you unexpectedly stop by my house. Come on in because you are welcome here, but I won’t apologize for the mess. Here’s why.

A couple of weeks ago one of my neighbors stopped by and asked if she could come in and visit for a few minutes. Though I have no desire to pretend like I have it all together, I do have a bit of pride and I was incredibly embarrassed regarding the state of my house. If I let her in, my neighbor would walk through a dining room that I … [Read more...] about 5 Reasons I No Longer Apologize for My Messy House

Thanks to a tub of ready-to-eat snacks, snack time in my house is no longer chaotic and my kids are learning several lessons. Here’s how.

Sometimes my kids would sit down at the table and make requests (this was often for snacks I didn’t have on hand and, of course, each child would want something different). Other times I would offer one item (or let them choose between two items) and they would grumble because they … [Read more...] about 5 Ways a Tub of Ready-to-Eat Snacks Benefits My Family
